Title: Improvements in or relating to the burning of gypsum
IPC: C04B11/02
Filed: 1957-01-16
Abstract: Hard model and hard moulding gypsums are prepared by heating crude gypsum in an indirectly heated autoclave, in which the pressure generated inside the autoclave, mainly by vaporized water of crystallization, is released, when a selected value has been reached, by blowing off steam, thereby reducing the pressure to substantially atmospheric, and repeating this procedure until the desired gypsum is obtained.  The gypsum is then dried by heating at atmospheric pressure.  A small amount of water may be added to the crude gypsum prior to heating.  The drying is conveniently carried out in a separate vessel heated externally by steam.  The gypsum may be comminuted prior to drying.  In an example, gypsum is heated to a maximum temperature of 175 DEG  C. for 1 1/2 hours, the steam being blown off when a pressure of 6 atmospheres is reached.  This is repeated twice, the gypsum is then comminuted to pea-sized grains, and is dried in a steam-heated vessel at a temperature not exceeding 175 DEG  C.
